Midway has them. They look a little different that what we usually think of as a cleaning jag for an ML, but work fine. Most of them have a little point on the end, these can be filed off if they don't work for you.
 
If you have a flat file, electric drill and a dial or digital caliper or a micrometer, it's an easy chore to modify a .32 caliber jag.

Lightly tighten the .32 caliber jag's threads in the drill's chuck. With the electric drill pointed from your left to your right, start it and use the flat file to remove the excess material from the jag. For a .30 caliber bore, you want to reduce the size so it is .020 to .030 smaller than the bore.
For a .30 caliber bore, that would make the jag .270-.280 in diameter.
 
Zonie has got it right. You can easily make any caliber jag you need from one a little larger.
